The privilege of denouncing by Kharoll-Ann Souffrant

Why Black women and girls are largely absent from the public debate when it comes to sexual violence. Kharoll-Ann Souffrant frankly explores the historical reasons for this observation using examples from Quebec, France and the United States. Between the current impacts of colonization and slavery, stereotypes related to Black sexuality and the flaws of the criminal justice system, the author assembles the pieces of the puzzle to reveal the dynamics at work behind the marginalization of Afro-descendant women.
